Question

d) state - dependent memory.
e) the spacing effect.

1. group 1 is asked to write down the names of the seven dwarfs. group 2 is asked to look at a list of possible names of the dwarfs and circle the correct seven. why might group 2 be more likely to recall more names?

a) iconic memory is superior to echoic memory.
b) implicit memories are easier to recall than explicit memories are.
c) source amnesia may interfere with group 1s ability to recall the names of the dwarfs.
d) group 2s list provides more retrieval cues, making this recognition task easier for them.
e) proactive interference is less likely to affect childhood learning.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Iconic (visual) vs echoic (auditory) memory isn’t relevant here, as the task isn’t about comparing these memory types. Eliminate A.
• Option B: Implicit vs explicit memory: The task is about recalling (explicit) names, not implicit memory. Eliminate B.
• Option C: Source amnesia (forgetting source of memory) doesn’t relate to recalling dwarf names. Eliminate C.
• Option D: Group 2 has a list of possible names (retrieval cues) for recognition (circling correct ones), which is easier than free recall (Group 1 writing names). This matches the scenario.
• Option E: Proactive interference (old info interfering with new) isn’t related to childhood learning or this task. Eliminate E.

Answer:

D. Group 2's list provides more retrieval cues, making this recognition task easier for them.
